Market Research and Competitor Analysis

There are many definitions of market research and you may think of it in its most simply form as someone standing in the street with a clipboard asking you questions.

At The Marketing Buzz we don’t have clipboards and we don’t really want to be standing in the streets for too long (we’re based in the North East of England and it is cold up here!).

We do however see Market Research as one of the most important stages for any business who wants to grow so for us market research is used to help us get answers to the following questions:

  • Where are you now? That is, what market or industry are you in? What are your strengths and weaknesses?
  • What opportunities and threats exist for your business?
  • What external factors influence how well your business does?
  • Who are your competitors and what do they do well and what do they do badly?

Once we’ve helped you get answers to these questions we can take the information gained to establish:

  • Where do you want to go?
  • How can we help get you there?
  • How can we control it so we know how successful we’ve been?

Market research is an absolutely vital tool for any business and the one thing that all successful businesses share is that they understand their market, they know where they want to go and they have a plan in place to get there.

At The Marketing Buzz one of our main strengths is being able to help you understand your market and through successful marketing we can help you increase your profits and get your business to the place you want it to be.
